Question

Tim pulls a letter tile from a bag that contains one of each letter of the alphabet. Match each description of the tile with its probability.

A letter in his name or S

A letter in his name

A letter in his name or a consonant (Assume vowels are A, E, I, O, and U.)

A vowel in his name

A. 11/13
B. 2/13
C. 3/26
D. 1/26

Answer 1

The first term involves the three letters in Tim's name (T, I, and M) and S. There are 4 letters out of 26, so you have a 2/13 probability (reduced).

The second term is just the letters T, I, and M, so it is a 3/26 probability.

The third term involves all consonants (21) plus "I" because that is in his name. So, 22/26, which reduces to 11/13.

The final one only deals with "I" because it is the only vowel in Tim's name. So it has a 1/26 probability.
